Flaws make you genuine, being genuine makes you unique, being unique makes confidence, being confidence makes tou sexy, being sexy makes you perfectly imperfect!
I read a TikTok slideshow about how we attach our personalities to the things we buy like Labubuās, matcha, vintage clothing, etc., etc. and it really woke me up. It made me realize how often we treat objects like identity badges, hoping theyāll somehow communicate who we are to the world. But maybe we donāt need to buy a personality. Maybe itās okay to just be you without the aesthetic, without the branding, without needing to āmatchā a vibe. The phrase āto be cringe is to be freeā has been living rent-free in my head, and honestly, it resonates. Because at the end of the day, who really cares what other people think? Okay, I do sometimes. Iām human. But when I quiet the noise, I know the truest version of myself isnāt curated, itās just me. Messy, weird, sincere. And I think thatās enough. Weāre not the sum of what we consume. Weāre allowed to just exist, unbranded, unfiltered, and still whole. I think Iām not my truest self yet, but Iām getting there and I really do hope my truest self reflects beautifully to the people around me.
Everything in your life does not have to be subscription based, and subscription does not equate a service being good. If Iām paying $24.99 a month to watch Netflix in 4K UHD, I should expect to see what I pay for, not subpar playback latency, low bitrate streams, many app crashes, and overall looking terrible on anything that isnāt a 4K display. Remember when you could buy things and own them, like, forever? There is a better world out there past Netflix, Hulu, Spotify and Amazon Prime.
